Just got round to putting this on my Shield, it’s been quietly doing its own thing in the background for an hour now and I wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ to @jaseknighter for putting it out into the world - it’s really been hitting the spot on a chilly London morning!

I still understand very little of what’s going on, but I’m loving it. Getting some good ratcheting percussion. I like leaving it on in my office and stop by to tweak it every now and then.

Beatiful script, well done :slight_smile:

A new version of Flora (v0.1.0-beta) is now available that includes the following updates:

  • Envelope and Bandsaw Engine output parameters from the plow and water screens may now be sent to midi, just friends, and crow.
  • The following new parameters may be used to control Flora with the 16n faderbank on multiple midi cc channels:
    – plow1:midi cc channel
    – plow2:midi cc channel
    – water: midi cc channel

I’ve posted a video that demonstrates these new capabilities:

Cool! Can it be updated via Maiden or I need to download the new files?

i absolutely love this script

it is so inspiring to use and it sounds lovely

here is a simple video i made using only flora and a pocket operator

Slowly understanding how to interact with this script and it is beautiful! Snowing heavily here today, no traveling into the city for work; my houseplants and I are watching the snow swirl past windows and letting flora play us a tune…

@jaseknighter So perfect and inspiring sequencer !
Thank you a lot for this beauty.
The output setting is very cool but please is it possible to add an option with all the outputs Audio ; Midi ; JF ; Crow ?
It will magic :pray:

@Mad86, thank you so much for your kind words!

Right now I’m finishing up one of the enhancements requested by @mlogger to save Plow (envelope) parameters. I expect I’ll be able to add your request to this batch of changes when it gets released (hopefully in the next few days). I’ll make an announcement when it is ready.

yeah, great idea to have some sort of meta-sequencer this way - that would be a killer feature! i wonder, if this could be done somehow with @infinitedigits tmi script?

@mlogger and @moono, I’ll see if I can put some kind of basic pset sequencer together for the upcoming update. It’ll be just for Flora, but I have a vague feeling it may be portable to other apps. We’ll see how it goes…

The Flora v0.2.0-beta is now available and includes the following new features:

PSET sequencer (thanks to @mlogger for the idea)

  • The sequencer’s controls are themselves defined with PSETs, so PSET sequencing can be triggered via midi (as suggested by @vehka in the norns ideas topic).
  • The PSET sequencer also features user definable ‘exclusion sets.’ Parameters that are part of an enabled exclusion set will be excluded when a PSET is saved. Accordingly, parameters in an enabled exclusion set won’t be overwritten when the sequencer loads a PSET. Please note that for this feature to work, exclusion sets need to be enabled (in the PARAMETERS menu) before saving the PSETS. Enabling a PSET exclusion set while the PSET sequencer is playing will have no immediate effect.

Envelope modulation

  • New probability controls allow the time, level, and curve values for each envelope node to be modulated. The controls may be accessed by pressing k1+k3 on the plow screen as well as from the PARAMETERS menu.

Other new features

  • The active plant instructions and plant angles may now be saved in PSETS.
  • Midi is now included in the 4th OUTPUT option (requested by @Mad86).

Additional documentation of the new features may be found on GitHub (see link above)

The attached video demonstrates many of these new capabilities. It was recorded with an exclusion set enabled for the envelope modulation parameters.

Awesome :clap: thank you for all these new implementations.
That’s really really nice.
I know what I will explore today :wink:
I have to say very smart job ! :rose::cherry_blossom::hibiscus:

Wooah - amazing - thankyou so much! I didn’t think this could be done :slight_smile:

My pleasure @mlogger! The basic code to setup a sequencer and load PSETS was actually pretty straightforward. Also, although I’ve just done very basic testing, it appears the PSET sequencer code is portable to other scripts. I put instructions for using the PSET sequencer with other scripts in the pset_sequencer.lua file.

Wow, really nice. :heart: Can’t wait to give this a spin over the weekend! Also, the PSET sequencer sounds awesome. Do you reckon it would be a lot of work to make it a lib for including in other scripts too?

Thanks @vehka. I hope you have fun with it!

Since I haven’t done much testing with other scripts, I’m not sure how much work it would be to make the PSET sequencer code into a lib.

That said, as I mentioned previously, I did get the basic sequencer functionality to work in a few other scripts (with just three simple lines of code) and the steps are documented in the pset_sequencer.lua file for anyone who wants to try it in other scripts for themselves on their local norns devices.

i gave it a quick test drive and so far i can say: this is simply awesome - the preset sequencing feature and all the other improvements made this already amazing script even more amazing! thank you @jaseknighter for implementing this killer feature which will hopefully find its way into many other scripts around here …
